Levítico 14:35 Meaning and Commentary

Leviticus 14:35

And he that owneth the house shall come, and tell the priest,
&c.] As soon as he observes any sign of leprosy in it, or which gives him a suspicion of it: saying, it seemeth unto me [there is] as it were a plague in the
house;
he must not say expressly there is one, how certain soever he may be of it, because the matter must be determined by a priest: so runs the Jewish canon ^F9, he whose the house is comes and declares to the priest, saying, there appears to me as a plague in the house; and though he is a wise man, and knows that there is a plague certainly, he may not determine, and say, there appears to me a plague in the house, but there appears to me as it were a plague in the house; it looks like one, there is some reason to suspect it.

Levítico 14:35 In-Context

33 Y habló el SEÑOR a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo

34 Cuando hubieres entrado en la tierra de Canaán, la cual yo os doy en posesión, y pusiere yo plaga de lepra en alguna casa de la tierra de vuestra posesión

35 vendrá aquel de quien fuere la casa, y dará aviso al sacerdote, diciendo: Algo como plaga ha aparecido en mi casa

36 Entonces mandará el sacerdote, y desocuparán la casa antes que el sacerdote entre a mirar la plaga, para que no sea contaminado todo lo que estuviere en la casa; y después el sacerdote entrará a reconocer la casa

37 Y mirará la plaga; y si se ve la plaga en las paredes de la casa con manchas verdosas, profundas o bermejas, las cuales parecieren más hundidas que la pared
